I use a linux compiled libsocks5_sh.so:

andre@bali:~>ll /compat/linux/usr/local/lib/libsocks5_sh.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  - 89872 Aug  2 18:54 /compat/linux/usr/local/lib/libsocks5_sh.so*

Then I use the usual

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export LD_PRELOAD=libsocks5_sh.so

and run linux realplayer successfully through the socks server.

I can send you my libsocks5_sh.so binary if you want it, it is based
on socks5-v1.0r11.tar.gz...
